Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The Orbital Marine O2-X is a floating tidal-stream turbine consisting of a surface-riding platform that suspends rotor blades beneath the waterline, where they are turned by the flow of tidal currents to generate electricity. Because the whole unit floats and can be towed to a mooring site rather than fixed to the seabed with heavy foundations, it is designed to simplify the installation and maintenance of tidal energy devices compared with seabed-mounted turbines.
